Well, what can I say about this car. It is not only that the engine works and it is in good mechanical conditions but the uniqueness of this car.
Custom made out of Batik from Dior Vargas. He made princess D's Jaguar, as you can see in the picture, and many other pieces of art during his successfull carreer.
Many artists create pieces that are original, but an artist who's work is truly unique comes along quite rarely. Dior Vargas is one of those artists. He combines ancient oriental techniques with a post-modernist, north-American flare.
Although he was born in Hawaii (1930), he was raised in Cuba. In the early 1970's Dior Vargas returned home and worked for the successful television show, Hawaii Five-O. It was on the set of this program that he met Takeo Nakamura, one of the few surviving artists to master the batik technique at the time. Batik on rice paper originated in Japan and it's techniques are traditionally passed on from generation to
generation. Fortunately, Nakamura accepted Vargas as his student. For the next 6 years, four of them in Japan, Dior Vargas studied under this Japanese artist, and strived to master this extremely difficult painting technique. He achieved his goal, and is now thought to be the world's foremost practitioner of this ancient style. He has become so at ease with the methodology required to create a batik piece, that he is able to lay batik patterns on almost any surface. He has laid batik on everything from paper to vases and even furniture. To date, one of his most fabulous creations is a 1929 Ford Phaeton, which has been entirely laid with batik inside and out; complete with the artist's signature on the dashboard. It is truly a one-of a kind luxury item. Vargas batiks are not only original works of art, they are quite beautiful and somewhat mysterious; important elements often ignored in modern, post-modern and contemporary art.
